"The second Shounen Ai manga ever published" (1971) // Collection of Stories // 1 Volume (Complete) - Dropped... Title story's alternate story: Thomas no Shinzou

Thomas no Shinzou (1974) - It was so beautifully written, so deep and full of all kinds of emotions. It's really a masterpiece! An essential, must-read classic! > I also want to recommend the film "Les amitiés particulières" (based on the homonymous novel by Roger Peyrefitte), which, together with some great literary works, also inspired Hagio Moto to write Thomas no Shinzou. The live-action "Summer Vacation 1999" (1988) is loosely based on Thomas no Shinzou - Note: A female cast was used to play the boys in the film, which is also very different from the original story anyway. Prequel: Houmonsha (The title story, about the earlier life of Oscar) Alternate Story: 11-gatsu no Gymnasium

One of the oldest GL out there (1971) by Yamagishi Ryouko, one of Year 24 Group. .୧୨. Couple of the White Room - After her parents died in an accident, Resine, a dainty girl who always had a sheltered life, is to be taken in by her aunt. However, she doesn't want to stay in her house, so she decides to enter an all-girls boarding school. There, she'll be rooming with a certain Simone, who turns out to be an outrageous girl, rude to her from the start... Tragic and angsty, but beautiful story. Recommended to those who like classic manga and dramatic stories with sad endings.

I'd love to read the whole story and there are also two sequels! Poe no Ichizoku Series: 1 Poe no Ichizoku 2 Poe no Ichizoku: Haru no yume [[Not scanlated]] 3 Poe no Ichizoku: Unicorn [[Not scanlated]]

17 Volumes (Complete) [Baka-Updates] Serge Battour is the son of a French viscount and a Romani prostitute, and despite his kind nature and academic talent, is shunned by his family and his peers due to the color of his skin. He begins to attend Lacombrade Academy, his father's alma mater, in the hopes that there he will find a place to belong. Gilbert Cocteau is, like Serge, the orphaned son of a wealthy family, and is infamous at Lacombrade for his beautiful and delicate appearance, lack of dedication to schoolwork, and habit of prostituting himself to other students. He has no intention to connect with any of his classmates, instead devoting himself to his uncle Auguste. Due to a shortage of living space, Serge and Gilbert become roommates even though Gilbert's antisocial nature has in the past made it impossible for him to room with anybody. Serge, being sociable and idealistic, is determined to be friends with Gilbert; Gilbert is only interested in either being able to manipulate Serge or push him away entirely. To the surprise of both of the boys, however, the two eventually form a deep, albeit generally dismal, bond that leads to a romantic connection.

[From DokiDoki] Marion is a young schoolboy who prides himself on his adherence to a philosophy he calls "realism". Because of his distain for emotional display, he ignores anything remotely akin to affection. But when Marion is entangled in a romantic affair with an older courtesan, his rationalism is revealed to be little more than a cover for his own emotional immaturity.

Pharaoh no Haka (1974) It'd be awesome if this epic story by Takemiya Keiko was to be picked up again! I love this kind of stories so I really hope for that to happen!
